The following cycle of reactions takes place in carbon-Nitrogen cycle in which carbon acts as a catalyst. A proton combines with a stable carbon producing unstable Nitrogen with the release of gamma rays. This unstable nitrogen disintegrates into carbon. That is, six C13 , positron and neutrino. The carbon, 6C13 combines with another proton produces stable nitrogen with the release of gamma rays. This stable nitrogen, combines with another proton producing unstable oxygen. That is 8O15 with the release of gamma rays. This unstable oxygen disintegrates into nitrogen. That is 7N15, a positron and neutrino. This nitrogen combines with another proton producing stable carbon and alpha particles.

US, Canada, Japan to promote nuclear energy as carbon-free power
TheUnited States will team up with Canada and Japan to promote nuclear energy as carbon-free power around the globe, Deputy Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said in an article published Wednesday.
Brouillette said that if the world is serious about reducing emissions, then all options must be considered when it comes to carbon-free power, including "clean, reliable nuclear energy."
The initiative was called "the NuclearInnovation: CleanEnergy (NICE) Future initiative."
"This global effort will make sure nuclear has a seat at the table during discussions about innovation and advanced clean energy systems of the future," Brouillette said.
According to the article, there are currently 449 commercial reactors operating in 30 countries around the world, which provide nearly 11 percent of global electricity. In theU.S. 99 reactors produce 20 percent of the country's electricity and 56 percent of its total clean energy, the official added.
Some 50 nuclear reactors are under construction around the globe, including the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, Turkey's first nuclear power station.
Scheduled to be complete by 2023, marking the centennial of the Republic of Turkey, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant will produce approximately 35 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power annually.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.

In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.

The field of particle physics evolved out of nuclear physics and is typically taught in close association with nuclear physics.

History

The history of nuclear physics as a discipline distinct from atomic physics starts with the discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel in 1896, while investigating phosphorescence in uranium salts. The discovery of the electron by J. J. Thomson a year later was an indication that the atom had internal structure. At the beginning of the 20th century the accepted model of the atom was J. J. Thomson's "plum pudding" model in which the atom was a positively charged ball with smaller negatively charged electrons embedded inside it.

Nuclear chemistry

It is the chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon together with the chemistry associated with equipment (such as nuclear reactors) which are designed to perform nuclear processes. This includes the corrosion of surfaces and the behavior under conditions of both normal and abnormal operation (such as during an accident). An important area is the behavior of objects and materials after being placed into a nuclear waste storage or disposal site.

It includes the study of the chemical effects resulting from the absorption of radiation within living animals, plants, and other materials. The radiation chemistry controls much of radiation biology as radiation has an effect on living things at the molecular scale, to explain it another way the radiation alters the biochemicals within an organism, the alteration of the biomolecules then changes the chemistry which occurs within the organism, this change in chemistry then can lead to a biological outcome. As a result, nuclear chemistry greatly assists the understanding of medical treatments (such as cancerradiotherapy) and has enabled these treatments to improve.

Carbon dating is a real-life example of a first-order reaction. This video explains half-life in the context of radioactive decay.

"This global effort will make sure nuclear has a seat at the table during discussions about innovation and advanced clean energy systems of the future," Brouillette said.
According to the article, there are currently 449 commercial reactors operating in 30 countries around the world, which provide nearly 11 percent of global electricity. In theU.S. 99 reactors produce 20 percent of the country's electricity and 56 percent of its total clean energy, the official added.
Some 50 nuclear reactors are under construction around the globe, including the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, Turkey's first nuclear power station.
Scheduled to be complete by 2023, marking the centennial of the Republic of Turkey, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant will produce approximately 35 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power annually.

Carbon Nitrogen Cycle | Nuclear Physics Animation

The following cycle of reactions takes place in carbon-Nitrogen cycle in which carbon acts as a catalyst. A proton combines with a stable carbon producing unstable Nitrogen with the release of gamma rays. This unstable nitrogen disintegrates into carbon. That is, six C13 , positron and neutrino. The carbon, 6C13 combines with another proton produces stable nitrogen with the release of gamma rays. This stable nitrogen, combines with another proton producing unstable oxygen. That is 8O15 with the release of gamma rays. This unstable oxygen disintegrates into nitrogen. That is 7N15, a positron and neutrino. This nitrogen combines with another proton producing stable carbon and alpha particles.

Nuclear Energy Explained: Risk or Opportunity

PleaseReadBelow For More InformationAnything with the word nuclear next to it usually comes with a fair bit of misunderstanding. Hopefully this video demystifies the process of how nuclear fuels are turned into electricity and how we can use them in combination with renewables in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the effects on the climate that come with high levels of them.
Of course, there are many things that have been left out this video as nuclear energy, just as with any other source, has many different factors that need to be taken into account when making decisions. In order to fully understand the situation and make decisions, I highly recommend that you do some research of your own on the topic, rather than simply base your opinion on a four-minute YouTube video.

“The finding challenges decades of research suggesting that new neurons continue to appear in the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved in memory and emotion. It also calls into question claims that both exercise and some anti-depressant drugs could boost the production of new neurons in the hippocampus.”

"The dogma for the longest time was that adult brains couldn't generate any new brain cells. You just use what you were born with," says Dr. Amar Sahay, a neuroscientist with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. "But the reality is that everyone has the capacity to develop new cells that can help enhance cognitive functions."

“By measuring how much carbon-14 someone has in various tissues of the body, researchers can actually get an understanding of when those tissues were formed. They know how much extra carbon-14 was in the atmosphere each year and can compare the amount in a tissue with that number to find a pretty precise date.”

US, Canada, Japan to promote nuclear energy as carbon-free power
TheUnited States will team up with Canada and Japan to promote nuclear energy as carbon-free power around the globe, Deputy Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said in an article published Wednesday.
Brouillette said that if the world is serious about reducing emissions, then all options must be considered when it comes to carbon-free power, including "clean, reliable nuclear energy."
The initiative was called "the NuclearInnovation: CleanEnergy (NICE) Future initiative."
"This global effort will make sure nuclear has a seat at the table during discussions about innovation and advanced clean energy systems of the future," Brouillette said.
According to the article, there are currently 449 commercial reactors operating in 30 countries around the world, which provide nearly 11 percent of global electricity. In theU.S. 99 reactors produce 20 percent of the country's electricity and 56 percent of its total clean energy, the official added.
Some 50 nuclear reactors are under construction around the globe, including the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, Turkey's first nuclear power station.
Scheduled to be complete by 2023, marking the centennial of the Republic of Turkey, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant will produce approximately 35 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power annually.

Global Warming: Greens vs Nuclear - "Th" Thorium Documentary

http://thoriumremix.com Coal ash piles contain more radioactive material than released by any operating nuclear power plant. Pollution from coal kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. Yet Germany and Japan are building additional coal plants to replace nuclear power plants. This has a short-term cost in lives (due to air pollution) and very serious implications for global warming.
As our van of thorium advocates discuss various energy options, we hear from prominent environmentalists and climatologists who support (or who have recently come to support) expansion of nuclear power. Support of nuclear power among climate scientists is nothing new, but creating this video would have been impossible even 1 year ago.

The Future of Nuclear Energy: Featuring John Deutch

Nuclear power accounts for 20% of U.S. electricity generation—and 60% of all carbon-free power generated in America. It is also the only form of carbon-free baseload power available in the United States or globally at scale. Given these advantages, many look to nuclear as a key component of any strategy to tackle climate change. Yet, in spite of its promise, nuclear currently faces numerous headwinds. A recent U.S. Department of EnergyAdvisory Board report led by John Deutch found that a comprehensive nuclear program in the U.S. would take “time, significant public resources, restructured electricity markets, and sustained and skilled management attention.”
Are subsidies needed and sufficient for the industry’s long-term survival? What other changes must be made? What is the outlook for...

Nuclear Power in a Carbon-Regulated World

Presented on May 14, 2010Paul Lorenzini, CEO, NuScale PowerInc.
"Nuclear power generation is attracting renewed attention worldwide. Developing nations such as China and India are focusing on nuclear power in their quest for new sources of energy. Developed nations, already consumers of large amounts of energy, need more for growing demand and replacement of plants that emit carbon dioxide.
On May 14, City Club welcomes Paul Lorenzini, Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power, an Oregon company seeking to commercialize a small nuclear reactor design developed at Oregon State University. Mr. Lorenzini will explain why nuclear energy will likely play an ever greater role as our nation and the world seek to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. He will address concerns, such as the safety re...

Rates of Nuclear decay follow first order kinetics

This video looks at various isotopes and their half-lives (a property like boiling point - it varies between different substances, but is a constant for that substance). An example is worked solving for the time required for a sample of carbon-14 to decay from a given initial value to a final value. C-14 is used for carbon dating, or radiometric dating, and is useful to date things no older than approximately 50,000 years, because of its relatively short half-life.

Our Nuclear Future

Nuclear plants are expensive to build but provide a reliable and carbon-free source of energy once they're up and running. But how the true cost of that energy is calculated is something that environmentalists, academics and politicians have been debating for decades. The Agenda convenes a panel of experts to discuss the actual cost of nuclear power.

Nuclear Energy at a Crossroads

Nuclear energy is at a crossroads as both challenges and the opportunities associated with nuclear power generation compete to define its future. Nuclear power could play an important role in the future global energy mix, if it can successfully capitalize on the benefits of being a proven source of zero-carbon generation. Yet nuclear still faces serious headwinds, including rising construction costs and public concerns over operational safety.
To shed light on this, the Nuclear Energy at a Crossroads conference will examine different aspects of the economics of nuclear power generation. Speakers will discuss the characteristics of domestic and global markets where nuclear power is flourishing as well as the relative advantages and disadvantages of nuclear as an electricity generation tech...

Helen Caldicott - "Th" Thorium Documentary

Helen Caldicott is the world's most prominent anti-nuclear activist. Helen has been featured on CNN, 60 Minutes, CBC and Democracy Now speaking about the dangers of nuclear power and radiation.
In the 80s, Dr. Helen Caldicott campaigned against nuclear weapons testing in the pacific (still responsible today for the majority of tritium we're exposed to), and against the notion of a winnable nuclear war. She was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts.
However, she has always made inaccurate statements regarding civilian nuclear power.

Global Warming: Greens vs Nuclear - "Th" Thorium Documentary

http://thoriumremix.com Coal ash piles contain more radioactive material than released by any operating nuclear power plant. Pollution from coal kills hundreds ...

http://thoriumremix.com Coal ash piles contain more radioactive material than released by any operating nuclear power plant. Pollution from coal kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. Yet Germany and Japan are building additional coal plants to replace nuclear power plants. This has a short-term cost in lives (due to air pollution) and very serious implications for global warming.
As our van of thorium advocates discuss various energy options, we hear from prominent environmentalists and climatologists who support (or who have recently come to support) expansion of nuclear power. Support of nuclear power among climate scientists is nothing new, but creating this video would have been impossible even 1 year ago.
That we can quickly summarize why these scientists changes their minds is thanks to "Pandora's Promise" http://pandoraspromise.com/ by Robert Stone (prominent environmentalist). He had come to change his mind about nuclear power, and has fellow environmentalists explain their own pro-nuclear reasoning as an indirect means of expressing his own.
What "Pandora's Promise" does not include is Robert Stone's own voice (except when he confronts prominent anti-nuke Dr. Helen Caldicott from behind the camera). It is Robert Stone (and fellow pro-nuclear environmentalists) interviews surrounding Pandora's Promise that has allowed this video summary to be created.
BaronessBryony Worthington's offers additional commentary on the environmentalist perspective, having worked on climate change for Friends of the Earth, and drafted the extremely impactful UK Climate Change Bill. The bills was passed in late 2013, and helps ensure that existing coal plants in UK need to meet similar emission standards as new ones... a significant step in reducing UK GHG emissions.
"Next Generation Reactors" are discussed by both Pandora's Promise environmentalists, and our van full of thorium advocates. Not every environmentalist or scientist shown here is talking in support of the same "next generation" reactor. We take a closer look at different next-generation reactors in a future video chapter. But all pro-nuclear scientists do agree that any next-generation reactor will achieve a much higher level of passive safety ("walk away safe"), will help reduce our carbon emissions, and will save hundreds of thousands of lives thanks to reductions in deadly air pollution created by burning fossil fuels.

The Future of Nuclear Energy: Featuring John Deutch

Nuclear power accounts for 20% of U.S. electricity generation—and 60% of all carbon-free power generated in America. It is also the only form of carbon-free baseload power available in the United States or globally at scale. Given these advantages, many look to nuclear as a key component of any strategy to tackle climate change. Yet, in spite of its promise, nuclear currently faces numerous headwinds. A recent U.S. Department of EnergyAdvisory Board report led by John Deutch found that a comprehensive nuclear program in the U.S. would take “time, significant public resources, restructured electricity markets, and sustained and skilled management attention.”
Are subsidies needed and sufficient for the industry’s long-term survival? What other changes must be made? What is the outlook for states like New York and California that have pursued their own policy choices?
EPIC hosted esteemed energy expert John Deutch, who examined these questions and more.
——————————
This event is part of a series the University of Chicago is hosting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. The Nuclear Reactions—1942: A Historic Breakthrough, an Uncertain Future event series will use the 1942 experiment and its historical context as a basis for insights into the future of energy, national security, and efforts to bring about a more peaceful world.

Presented on May 14, 2010Paul Lorenzini, CEO, NuScale PowerInc.
"Nuclear power generation is attracting renewed attention worldwide. Developing nations such as China and India are focusing on nuclear power in their quest for new sources of energy. Developed nations, already consumers of large amounts of energy, need more for growing demand and replacement of plants that emit carbon dioxide.
On May 14, City Club welcomes Paul Lorenzini, Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power, an Oregon company seeking to commercialize a small nuclear reactor design developed at Oregon State University. Mr. Lorenzini will explain why nuclear energy will likely play an ever greater role as our nation and the world seek to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. He will address concerns, such as the safety record of nuclear energy, and will describe how his small local business is influencing the future of nuclear power.
Paul Lorenzini earned his PhD in nuclear engineering from Oregon State University. He worked for Rockwell International and PacificCorp before forming the Oregon corporation NuScale in 2007."

Nuclear beyond LWRs – A Celebration of Neil Todreas’ Career and Passion for Advanced Reactors
The MITCenter for Advanced Nuclear EnergySystems (CANES)—a MIT Energy Initiative Low-Carbon Energy Center—hosted its first symposium on November 1 and 2, 2016. While the event focused on advanced nuclear power plant technology, a special celebration was also held in honor of Professor Neil E. Todreas, his life and legacy, and his lasting contribution to the broader field of nuclear research.
The symposium was a one and a half-day event sponsored by the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) and the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI). The sessions held at this gathering of faculty, alumni, industry, and other professionals discussed the economic prospects, technical innovations, and social and regulatory challenges of advanced nuclear power plants (NPPs). Specific questions addressed in the symposium included how to reduce the construction and operation costs of advanced NPPs, how market needs should guide the design of advanced NPPs, what are the social requirements for advanced NPPs, and what innovations in reactor fuels, components, construction materials and techniques can dramatically enhance the prospects of advanced NPPs.

Fukushima produced 30 million 1 tons bags of nuclear waste from 4 buildings how is nuclear Carbon free ?? Well carbon free is a odious lie it shows why nuclear scientist should be banned from earth or better yet put down like goblin monsters . . That is five rows of of 1 ton trucks around earth bumper to bumper with death every where is somehow now carbon free . They should just jail all nuclear scientist before earthlings find them and kill them for what they done .
Gross pathetic Journalist who claim nuclear is carbon free should be tarred and feathered and dropped off a building .

This video looks at various isotopes and their half-lives (a property like boiling point - it varies between different substances, but is a constant for that substance). An example is worked solving for the time required for a sample of carbon-14 to decay from a given initial value to a final value. C-14 is used for carbon dating, or radiometric dating, and is useful to date things no older than approximately 50,000 years, because of its relatively short half-life.

Nuclear plants are expensive to build but provide a reliable and carbon-free source of energy once they're up and running. But how the true cost of that energy is calculated is something that environmentalists, academics and politicians have been debating for decades. The Agenda convenes a panel of experts to discuss the actual cost of nuclear power.

Nuclear energy is at a crossroads as both challenges and the opportunities associated with nuclear power generation compete to define its future. Nuclear power could play an important role in the future global energy mix, if it can successfully capitalize on the benefits of being a proven source of zero-carbon generation. Yet nuclear still faces serious headwinds, including rising construction costs and public concerns over operational safety.
To shed light on this, the Nuclear Energy at a Crossroads conference will examine different aspects of the economics of nuclear power generation. Speakers will discuss the characteristics of domestic and global markets where nuclear power is flourishing as well as the relative advantages and disadvantages of nuclear as an electricity generation technology. Where nuclear reactors are being shut down, what are the implications of decommissioning on a national economy. The discussion will also focus on how the rise of new suppliers and emerging global partnerships affect the viability of nuclear power generation and whether there are potential energy security implications. Finally, speakers will explore what low carbon pathways look like with and without nuclear energy.

Carbon Nitrogen Cycle | Nuclear Physics Animation

The following cycle of reactions takes place in carbon-Nitrogen cycle in which carbon acts as a catalyst. A proton combines with a stable carbon producing unstable Nitrogen with the release of gamma rays. This unstable nitrogen disintegrates into carbon. That is, six C13 , positron and neutrino. The carbon, 6C13 combines with another proton produces stable nitrogen with the release of gamma rays. This stable nitrogen, combines with another proton producing unstable oxygen. That is 8O15 with the release of gamma rays. This unstable oxygen disintegrates into nitrogen. That is 7N15, a positron and neutrino. This nitrogen combines with another proton producing stable carbon and alpha particles.

"New Yorkers see that the climate is changing", asserts Richard Kauffman, New York state’s chairman of energy and finance. New York, followed by Illinois, has made nuclear power the centrepiece of its plans to cut greenhouse emissions, but critics have complained that this sponsorship will limit development of other clean energies. "You're actually delaying the investment in renewables, because renewables then can't find a way in", argues Robert Flexon, of fossil fuel operator Dynergy. However, nuclear's existing infrastructure means that the state is obliged to rely on it to meet its proposed energy goals.

Nuclear Energy Explained: Risk or Opportunity

PleaseReadBelow For More InformationAnything with the word nuclear next to it usually comes with a fair bit of misunderstanding. Hopefully this video demystifies the process of how nuclear fuels are turned into electricity and how we can use them in combination with renewables in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the effects on the climate that come with high levels of them.
Of course, there are many things that have been left out this video as nuclear energy, just as with any other source, has many different factors that need to be taken into account when making decisions. In order to fully understand the situation and make decisions, I highly recommend that you do some research of your own on the topic, rather than simply base your opinion on a four-minute YouTube video.
It should also be noted that this video has been made from the perspective of the United States in general. Every area on Earth has different natural resources and environments that determine what works best there.

‘Diamond-age’ of power generation as nuclear batteries developed

New technology has been developed that uses nuclear waste to generate electricity in a nuclear-powered battery. A team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol have grown a man-made diamond that, when placed in a radioactive field, is able to generate a small electrical current. The development could solve some of the problems of nuclear waste, clean electricity generation and battery life.

US, Canada, Japan to promote nuclear energy as carbon-free power
TheUnited States will team up with Canada and Japan to promote nuclear energy as carbon-free power around the globe, Deputy Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said in an article published Wednesday.
Brouillette said that if the world is serious about reducing emissions, then all options must be considered when it comes to carbon-free power, including "clean, reliable nuclear energy."
The initiative was called "the NuclearInnovation: CleanEnergy (NICE) Future initiative."
"This global effort will make sure nuclear has a seat at the table during discussions about innovation and advanced clean energy systems of the future," Brouillette said.
According to the article, there are currently 449 commercial reactors operating in 30 countries around the world, which provide nearly 11 percent of global electricity. In theU.S. 99 reactors produce 20 percent of the country's electricity and 56 percent of its total clean energy, the official added.
Some 50 nuclear reactors are under construction around the globe, including the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, Turkey's first nuclear power station.
Scheduled to be complete by 2023, marking the centennial of the Republic of Turkey, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant will produce approximately 35 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power annually.

PBS-NOVA "The Nuclear Option" (2017 Documentary ) HD

Aired - January 11, 2017
A renaissance in nuclear technology grows while a crisis continues at the Fukushima nuclear plant.
How will we power the planet without wrecking the climate?
Five years after the earthquake and tsunami that triggered the unprecedented trio of meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, scientists and engineers are struggling to control an ongoing crisis. What’s next for Fukushima? What’s next for Japan? And what’s next for a world that seems determined to jettison one of our most important carbon-free sources of energy? Despite the catastrophe—and the ongoing risks associated with nuclear—a new generation of nuclear power seems poised to emerge the ashes of Fukushima. NOVA investigates how the realities of climate change, the inherent limitations of renewable energy sources, and the optimism and enthusiasm of a new generation of nuclear engineers is looking for ways to reinvent nuclear technology, all while the most recent disaster is still being managed. What are the lessons learned from Fukushima? And with all of nuclear’s inherent dangers, how might it be possible to build a safe nuclear future?

Global Warming: Greens vs Nuclear - "Th" Thorium Documentary

http://thoriumremix.com Coal ash piles contain more radioactive material than released by any operating nuclear power plant. Pollution from coal kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. Yet Germany and Japan are building additional coal plants to replace nuclear power plants. This has a short-term cost in lives (due to air pollution) and very serious implications for global warming.
As our van of thorium advocates discuss various energy options, we hear from prominent environmentalists and climatologists who support (or who have recently come to support) expansion of nuclear power. Support of nuclear power among climate scientists is nothing new, but creating this video would have been impossible even 1 year ago.
That we can quickly summarize why these scientists changes their minds is thanks to "Pandora's Promise" http://pandoraspromise.com/ by Robert Stone (prominent environmentalist). He had come to change his mind about nuclear power, and has fellow environmentalists explain their own pro-nuclear reasoning as an indirect means of expressing his own.
What "Pandora's Promise" does not include is Robert Stone's own voice (except when he confronts prominent anti-nuke Dr. Helen Caldicott from behind the camera). It is Robert Stone (and fellow pro-nuclear environmentalists) interviews surrounding Pandora's Promise that has allowed this video summary to be created.
BaronessBryony Worthington's offers additional commentary on the environmentalist perspective, having worked on climate change for Friends of the Earth, and drafted the extremely impactful UK Climate Change Bill. The bills was passed in late 2013, and helps ensure that existing coal plants in UK need to meet similar emission standards as new ones... a significant step in reducing UK GHG emissions.
"Next Generation Reactors" are discussed by both Pandora's Promise environmentalists, and our van full of thorium advocates. Not every environmentalist or scientist shown here is talking in support of the same "next generation" reactor. We take a closer look at different next-generation reactors in a future video chapter. But all pro-nuclear scientists do agree that any next-generation reactor will achieve a much higher level of passive safety ("walk away safe"), will help reduce our carbon emissions, and will save hundreds of thousands of lives thanks to reductions in deadly air pollution created by burning fossil fuels.

The Future of Nuclear Energy: Featuring John Deutch

Nuclear power accounts for 20% of U.S. electricity generation—and 60% of all carbon-free power generated in America. It is also the only form of carbon-free baseload power available in the United States or globally at scale. Given these advantages, many look to nuclear as a key component of any strategy to tackle climate change. Yet, in spite of its promise, nuclear currently faces numerous headwinds. A recent U.S. Department of EnergyAdvisory Board report led by John Deutch found that a comprehensive nuclear program in the U.S. would take “time, significant public resources, restructured electricity markets, and sustained and skilled management attention.”
Are subsidies needed and sufficient for the industry’s long-term survival? What other changes must be made? What is the outlook for states like New York and California that have pursued their own policy choices?
EPIC hosted esteemed energy expert John Deutch, who examined these questions and more.
——————————
This event is part of a series the University of Chicago is hosting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. The Nuclear Reactions—1942: A Historic Breakthrough, an Uncertain Future event series will use the 1942 experiment and its historical context as a basis for insights into the future of energy, national security, and efforts to bring about a more peaceful world.

Nuclear Power in a Carbon-Regulated World

Presented on May 14, 2010Paul Lorenzini, CEO, NuScale PowerInc.
"Nuclear power generation is attracting renewed attention worldwide. Developing nations such as China and India are focusing on nuclear power in their quest for new sources of energy. Developed nations, already consumers of large amounts of energy, need more for growing demand and replacement of plants that emit carbon dioxide.
On May 14, City Club welcomes Paul Lorenzini, Chief Executive Officer of NuScale Power, an Oregon company seeking to commercialize a small nuclear reactor design developed at Oregon State University. Mr. Lorenzini will explain why nuclear energy will likely play an ever greater role as our nation and the world seek to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. He will address concerns, such as the safety record of nuclear energy, and will describe how his small local business is influencing the future of nuclear power.
Paul Lorenzini earned his PhD in nuclear engineering from Oregon State University. He worked for Rockwell International and PacificCorp before forming the Oregon corporation NuScale in 2007."

Untying the Nuclear Knot

It is a proven source of zero-emission energy, and many experts argue that we can’t solve the energy puzzle without nuclear. But plants are closing across the country, their business model is broken, and nuclear has a public relations problem. Can new technologies give nuclear a second chance in the energy mix?

Nuclear beyond LWRs – A Celebration of Neil Todreas’ Career and Passion for Advanced Reactors
The MITCenter for Advanced Nuclear EnergySystems (CANES)—a MIT Energy Initiative Low-Carbon Energy Center—hosted its first symposium on November 1 and 2, 2016. While the event focused on advanced nuclear power plant technology, a special celebration was also held in honor of Professor Neil E. Todreas, his life and legacy, and his lasting contribution to the broader field of nuclear research.
The symposium was a one and a half-day event sponsored by the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) and the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI). The sessions held at this gathering of faculty, alumni, industry, and other professionals discussed the economic prospects, technical innovations, and social and regulatory challenges of advanced nuclear power plants (NPPs). Specific questions addressed in the symposium included how to reduce the construction and operation costs of advanced NPPs, how market needs should guide the design of advanced NPPs, what are the social requirements for advanced NPPs, and what innovations in reactor fuels, components, construction materials and techniques can dramatically enhance the prospects of advanced NPPs.

Rates of Nuclear decay follow first order kinetics

This video looks at various isotopes and their half-lives (a property like boiling point - it varies between different substances, but is a constant for that substance). An example is worked solving for the time required for a sample of carbon-14 to decay from a given initial value to a final value. C-14 is used for carbon dating, or radiometric dating, and is useful to date things no older than approximately 50,000 years, because of its relatively short half-life.
